Speedometer And Odometer; Trip Odometer; Safety Belt Reminder Light - Buick 2005 Century Owner's Manual

Speedometer and Odometer

The speedometer shows the vehicle's speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been
driven in either miles (used in the United States) or in
kilometers (used in Canada).
The vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer. If ERROR
is displayed, this indicates someone has probably
tampered with it and the numbers may not be accurate.
You may wonder what happens if the vehicle needs
a new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to
the mileage total of the old odometer, then that will
be done. But if it cannot, then it will be set at zero and a
label must be put on the driver's door to show the old
mileage reading when the new odometer was installed.

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer tells how far the vehicle has been
driven since it was last reset. To set the trip odometer to
zero, press the button on the right side of the instrument
panel cluster.
The trip/select reset button will go back and forth
between the odometer and the trip odometer if the
button is pressed and released within 1.5 seconds.
3-30
If the button is pressed and held for longer than
1.5 seconds while in the trip odometer mode, it will be
reset to zero. If the button is pressed and held for longer
than 1.5 seconds while in the odometer mode, it will
have no effect.

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START,
a chime will come on for several seconds to remind
occupants to fasten their safety belts.
If the driver's belt is already buckled, neither the chime
nor the light will come on.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay on
for several seconds, then it
will flash for several more.
